If you're not participating in the optional beta yet and would like to, see the original post for details on how to participate. Thanks for the feedback on the optional beta! Our Discord server has been a particularly active hive of activity over the last several hours since it was released, and we thoroughly encourage you to join - the devs are currently very active there, responding to bug reports and collating feedback. Theyre friendly devs, too, as long as John has had his 7 hours of sleep! Weve addressed some of the more pressing issues that have cropped up in this patch (V0.310044) - this is the first of what we anticipate to be several patches during the testing period. The most urgent fix here is a translation problem that was causing large issues with freeplay setup in non-English languages. Again, the reports are very much appreciated. These optional betas are vital to catching issues that need a much bigger sample size than we can manage with internal quality control and the small focus group - were so glad youre choosing to be a part of it!
